Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat, then add the ground beef. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until it’s no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, cooking for another minute.
  3. Sprinkle in the cornstarch, stirring well to coat the beef. Continue cooking for about 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the beef broth, milk, and Worcestershire sauce, bringing to a gentle boil. Scrape browned bits from the bottom.
  5. Add the egg pasta, stirring well. Cover slightly ajar and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  6. Return the browned beef to the skillet, stir in the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream until integrated.
  7. Sprinkle in the paprika, then simmer uncovered for 2–3 minutes until thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning.
